Fourteen jurors were picked Monday for the William Balfour trial. The judge has kept their identities secret until after their verdict. In all, 18 jurors – including six alternates -- will be selected. Here is what was learned about the seven men and seven women picked so far:

Juror 2: White man in 20s from southwest suburbs. Graduated with a criminal justice degree from the University of Illinois at Chicago in 2007. Decided law enforcement was not for him and now works at a suburban country club.

Juror 8: Asian woman in early 40s from the northwest suburbs. Works as a physical therapist and saw a “couple episodes” of American Idol when Jennifer Hudson was on it.
